[Paraview-developers] File extensions and plugins

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi

Nothing prevents you to create your own specific extension and use it in
your plugin xml to ensure your reader is selected.
You could even set your reader to open file like : .h5 .myh5 so you can
still use it with "non-renamed' file.

Regards,

Mathieu Westphal
